Two Ladies' Make a Bet.

Two ladies and a gentleman were
conversing in the postoffice corridor
Yesterday afternoon when a peculiar
looking man passed along. He was
below the medium height, of spare
figure, with long, straight hair, that
hung far down his shoulders, and a
countenance that showed the scholars
pale cast of thought. He was dressed
in well-worn suit of black, wore a
high slouched hat and carried a small
valise in his hand.
"I'll bet that man is one of our
celebrated poets," said one OF the
ladies', going into raptures over the
queer little man. 81 wouldn't be sur
prised if it were Stedman, Geoghegan
of Stoddard.
'I'll take that bet," replied the
other, playfully pulling her purse
from her reticule. 81 am sure the
man is an artist, and will wager you
q package of caramels."
The bet was recorded and the ladies
delegated their companion to decide
the dispute for them. 1t was rather a
delicate piece of business, and the
man was in quandary how to act.
He tried to talk the ladies out of their
dispute, and even offered to pay for
the caramels himself, but they were
no determined that neither would give
in. The man walked up to the
stranger, hesitated a moment, twirled
his mustache meditatively and said :
"You must excuse me, sir, but the
two ladies whom | have just left were
SO impressed with your distinguished
appearance that they made little
wager as to your profession. Would
you mind informing me whether you
are a poet or an artist?"
Appearances are deceptive in this
WORLD" replied the old little man,
smiling pleasantly. "While l am
neither a poet nor an artist, my call
ing in life is no less important.
= have here" placing the valise on
a shelf and producing small box,
''an invention of my own which ]
guarantee will remove all corns and
bunions. Thank you, sir, here's my
card; SO you'll know where to find
me when you want some more"
The bet was declared draw, but
the ladies went home with their pock-
cts full of corn plasters.-[New York

AN AWFUL AFFAIR.
n Whole Family Murdered In
Cold Blood.

OOl0 nDhVV0s
Macon, Ca, August 6.-Information
his just been received of a most hor-
rible tragedy which occurred last
night about twelve miles from here,
in this county. Report says that Cap
tain Richard Voolfolk, a well-known
farmer, his wife, four children, and
Mrs. Best, an aunt of Mrs. Voolfolk,
were found murdered in the house
this morning, having been knocked on
the head and their throats cut. Tom
G. Voolfolk, son of Captain Voolfolk
by his first wife, is suspected of the
crime and was arrested.
A LATER ACCOUNT.
Later details from the scene of the
Voolfolk tragedy develop the facts
that there were nine victims instead
of seven as at first reported. The
coroner's jury found verdict of mur-
der against Thomas G.. Voolfolk, son
of the captains first wife, who was
sleeping in the house.
THE AccusED's STATEMENT.
His statement was that some time
before daybreak he was aroused by
groans and sounds of blows proceed
lug from his parents room. His half
brother, Richard, ran into the room
which adjoined his, and, thinking
that murder was being COM
mitted, he (Thomas) jumped from the
window and ran to the house of negro
two or three hundred yards distant to
get them to arouse the neighborhood.
He says that he went back after half
an hour and went into see if the family
had been murdered and found them
all dead. He found his step-mother
lying 80 that her head was on the floor
and her body on the bed. Soon after
he was taken into custody.
The evidence before the jury was
circumstantial. The prisoner was
brought to Macon and safely lodged
in Jail, where he talked of the crime
coolly, but made no admission. His
motive is said to have been desire to
gain possession of his fathers prop
erty for himself and two sisters, chill
dren of the first wife.
